Sautéed Scallops
Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Citrus Salad With Peanuts and Avocado
There’s really no need for leafy greens in a big, meaty citrus salad. The first step is to acquire a range of fruit — citrus of different colors, sizes and shapes, with varied levels of acidity and sweetness. Cutting the fruit so you don’t lose too much juice is key: Cut the pith and peel with a knife, then slice the fruit horizontally with a sharp knife that doesn’t crush and squeeze. A simple dressing of fish sauce, sweetened with a little brown sugar, works well, especially when it’s offset with some fatty pieces of avocado and some fresh herbs.

Smoked Salmon, Fromage Blanc and Caper Spread
One selling point of smoked salmon is that you don't need to do much to it to get it on the table — but take it a step further and break out of the canape cliché. Here, you’ll whip it up in the food processor with fennel and cream cheese for a light spread. Serve it with baguette slices. It’s a quarter-hour of work for a savory, guest-friendly appetizer.

Broiled Fish With Chermoula
In Morocco, chermoula is traditionally used as a marinade for grilled fish. You’ve used the Moroccan herb and spice blend, chermoula in all sorts of dishes, but not the way it is traditionally used in Morocco, as a marinade and sauce for fish (usually grilled). When you make the chermoula, you can do it as the recipe instructs, in a food processor, or as the Moroccans do, finely chopping all of the herbs. You can also use a mortar and pestle. If you want to you can thin it out with more oil or lemon juice. If the sauce is thick, you can just spread it over the fish with a spatula, like a rub, and let the fish marinate. It is unbelievably delicious and easy. This recipe is for fillets, but you can also use the marinade with a whole fish. I like to use the broiler for this because the juices accumulate on the foil-lined baking sheet and they are delicious poured over the fish. But grilling is traditional.

Seared Sea Scallops With Spicy Carrot Coulis
A coulis, pronounced koo-LEE, is a thin, pourable sauce, often made from tomatoes for savory dishes, or from berries for desserts. This brilliant orange sauce gets a splash of vinegar for a hit of acidity and a pinch of cayenne for heat, a perfect foil for the scallops’ sweetness. For the best flavor, use young bunch carrots, not large “horse carrots.” This is a very easy dish if the sauce is prepared in advance. (Make the sauce up to a day ahead. If made in advance, reheat to serve.) Then it’s just a matter of searing the scallops and assembling the plates.

Baked ‘Paella’ With Shrimp, Chorizo and Salsa Verde
This nontraditional recipe features the ultimate paella cheat: The dish cooks in the oven, as opposed to being actively monitored on the stovetop over a flame. Cooking it this way won’t get you the familiar socarrat on the bottom of the skillet, but the wonderfully crispy bits that develop at the edges of the roasting pan are delightful in their own way.

Salmon With Crushed Blackberries and Seaweed
A traditional staple on the Pacific Northwest coast, salmon is considered a sacred food. This dish is often slow-roasted on cedar or redwood spikes near an open fire, giving the fish a beautiful smoky flavor. In the kitchen, searing the salmon in a skillet allows the true flavor of wild-caught fish to shine through. Seaweed harvesting goes back countless generations, and so the salty seaweed is a great accompaniment here, along with the sweet local blackberries, a combination that is natural for the Muckleshoot and other tribes of the region.

Thai-Style Coconut Stock
Here’s the problem with homemade stock: It’s so good that it doesn’t last long. What’s needed is something you can produce more or less on the spot. Although water is a suitable proxy in small quantities, when it comes to making the bubbling, chest-warming soups that we rely on in winter, water needs some help. Fortunately, there are almost certainly flavorful ingredients sitting in your fridge or pantry that can transform water into a good stock in a matter of minutes. This recipe is meant to be fast, so by ‘‘simmer,’’ I mean as little as five minutes and no more than 15. You can season these stocks at the end with salt and pepper to taste, or wait until you’re ready to turn them into full-fledged soups.
